What Admund said...and Max.

So first of all we get three carts and fill them up with Dwarf stuff..Julian should do this as he is the good prices sure maker...then we drive towards Marienburg right before we split up into two groups. Julian, Admund, Ulrun the A-team (even though Face aka Klaus and Mr-t aka Heinrich will be in the B team) and the B-team Heinrich, Mortus, Max, Ragni, Klaus, did I miss anyone? B team goes to the merchants and investigates Etelka and the Book broker necrophilian the A-team goes to the elves.

Well, I just need to know what you're doing about leaving the city at this point!

Are you hiring the carts or buying? I think Julian already has one that he and Ragni rode to the city (plus Heinrich, Klaus and Max have horses).

How much are you spending on dwarf stuff?

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #11052 on:** September 10, 2014, 09:38:24 AM »

Klaus will spend everything he has after buying a tavern

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11053 on:** September 10, 2014, 10:31:14 AM »

I've been stalling on that because I have no idea how much a tavern would cost.

No idea how you are transfering that into warhammer money though

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11055 on:** September 10, 2014, 10:45:43 AM »

Hmmm, that only lists the rent for a tavern, not the cost of buying one.

Interesting list though!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #11056 on:** September 10, 2014, 10:48:22 AM »

Then no tavern for Klaus and all the money into Dwarf weapons and jewelry. Well except 500 gp that he will spend on clothes, food and booze.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11057 on:** September 10, 2014, 10:51:28 AM »

I'm not saying you can't buy one. I just want some opinions on how much it would cost.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #11058 on:** September 10, 2014, 10:58:13 AM »

I would have said at least all of my money. So not only the Knight purse I got but everything. Maybe even have to borrow from Max and Julian.

commandant · « **Reply #11059 on:** September 10, 2014, 12:33:00 PM »

In the modern world the value of a property can often be thought to be 14x its rent. Therefore the cost of a tavern could be around 2800 pounds.

Depending on how land works it might be difficult for Klaus to buy a tavern outright, but renting one from its noble owner would be much cheaper

I made a post with an outline of our plan:

TLDR - Heinrich Max and Admund go get Julian's cart and start gathering food stuffs and things we'll need to survive the week+ trip to Marienburg (food, tools to fix carts, camping supplies, etc)

Merchant team - Dwarfs can find nice dwarf things to sell, have them boxed in crates. Klaus, Ulrun, Mortus, go find nice carts and things you'll need to sell mercantile goods in Marienburg.

Divide total cost of 2 carts, mercantile goods, and supplies equally 8 ways.

Everyone spends a couple days getting these supplies, and the things they'll need for the long travel ahead. We go over everything we have before we leave, inform the Graf, then start our perilous and exciting journey.

Can we skip through the gathering stuff quite quickly?

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #11062 on:** September 10, 2014, 04:14:31 PM »

I wouldn't be opposed to that

commandant · « **Reply #11063 on:** September 10, 2014, 04:19:35 PM »

The GM is god

Agreed.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11065 on:** September 10, 2014, 11:02:25 PM »

Yes, we can skip over it. I just wanted someone to post the plan in the actual thread! So thanks.

Cannonofdoom · « **Reply #11066 on:** September 10, 2014, 11:34:20 PM »

Wait! I have another plan!

Jk, Heinrich goes along with the party plans.

To begin with, I've split the character sheet thread from the information thread. I'll be updating the information thread with... information. I'll finish it later, and will then update the game thread.

I don't think Ulrun spent his EXP. And Julian looks to have some left also.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11069 on:** September 13, 2014, 10:11:20 AM »

Now that I've looked up the stats: your (medium-sized) river boat can carry twenty seven times as much cargo as a cart. So two carts of cargo = very minor traders.

Maybe it's not worth bothering with the cargo at all!

commandant · « **Reply #11070 on:** September 13, 2014, 10:17:47 AM »

Or the cargo should be very small and expensive like dwarfen jewelry

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11071 on:** September 13, 2014, 10:50:55 AM »

Indeed.

I think it's wrong to use the bulk cargo rules from Death on the Reik for this.

How does 5000 crowns of cargo sound?

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #11072 on:** September 13, 2014, 03:36:58 PM »

We could alter the plan to ride all the of the way together, then the merchants go meet the boat?

commandant · « **Reply #11073 on:** September 13, 2014, 03:38:50 PM »

Sounds good,

That is about 800-1000 crowns per person?

Mortus' jewelry torc cost 200 crowns and that wasn't even dwarven made. You could make the jewelry even more expensive.

It's basically the same distance to Carroburg by road as it is to go all the way to Marienburg. Plus the party's riverboat could be anywhere (Billy is trading up and down the river with it).

No, your plan is fine! Ignore me.

Good point. Though you are taking weapons too. 5000 crowns of assorted items on two carts should be fine - it's not that important anyway.

It's tricky to update at this stage, because I have to take the party all the way to the next meaningful choice. Which could be ages! I'll have a go later.
